unable to add argument and apply in response using scriptable data protocol

[Nikhil Singh]

request file:
GET /test/portal HTTP/1.1
connection: keep-alive
content-type: application/json

{
"name":"30206151900",
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
beanshell script in scriptable data protocol:
%beanshell%
import com.itko.util.ParameterList;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.String;
import com.itko.util.ParameterList;
ParameterList args = lisa_vse_request.getArguments();
newval2 = "30206151900";
newVal3 = "302061520";
addr = "new zealand";
if(args.getParameterValue("name").equals(newval2)) {
addr = "wellington street, australia,";
}
if(args.getParameterValue("name").equals(newVal3)) {
addr = "new york street, us";
}
args.setParameterValue("status", addr);
lisa_vse_request.setArguments(args);

the argument "status" is getting added in vsi file but when i add "name": "{{=request_status;/*302061519*/}}" in reponse body it is unable to detect the data/value based on above script

Hi Nikhil,

If the script correctly adds status to the request argument then the issue
is not with the script. From what you say I believe the script works
correctly because your transactions inside your VSI have the status
argument.

Is the "status" argument marked as a magic string inside the VSI? Because
if not then the property request_status will not exist.
During testing, have you verified in the inspection view that the request
transaction coming into the VS also has the status argument present?
Because if not then your script worked during the creation of the VSI but
is maybe missing in the VSM (or has an other issue there).

Cheers,

Hi Danny,

yes i have marked it as magic string in vsi file, also in inspect view i see the variable request_name getting detected request_status is being added from script as new argument that is not shown in inspect view.

[Danny Saro]

Hi,

If you don't see "status" added as an argument to the incoming request in
Inspection View that would mean that the script has not ran correctly
within the VSM of the deployed VS. Try to have a look at the VSE log to see
if there are any beanshell error that might indicate why the script failed.

PS. the requirements that you implement in the script can be easily
implemented in the VSI using specific transactions without the need of any
coding

Hi Nikhil,

In the VSI, you can use the comparison operator to define the response combinations based on your requirement. This will eliminate any code/script dependency in your virtual service.

Thanks
